Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 Isole e Olena

The Chianti Classico of Isole e Olena is born in vineyards located on the gentle hills of Barberino Val d'Elsa, in the province of Florence.

It is produced 80% with Sangiovese grapes, 15% with Canaiolo grapes and 5% with Syrah grapes, harvested partly by hand and partly mechanically at the beginning of October. After the destemming and a soft pressing, the grapes macerate for about 12-20 days with pumping over twice a day and de-aging. The wine then ages in barriques and barrels for about 12 months before being bottled.

It has a ruby red color. The bouquet is intense and full, with hints of red and black berry fruits, shades of violet and flavors of undergrowth and wood. In the mouth it reveals round and velvety, with a good structure and a vibrant acidity. Overall it is elegant, with a long pleasantly aromatic aftertaste.

Perfect to accompany grilled white and red meats, it is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
